Rename WorkstationProcessDelete Class for Clarity

[ThomasAFink]

Description:

Appointments marked as nicht_erschienen/missed by the clerk should probably not call a class named WorkstationProcessDelete, as the naming of the class is confusing. In the log table you can't tell if the process was deleted or set to missed by the clerk because WorkstationProcessDelete is written into the log table for either case. Therefore how can you prosecute a case accurately?

Proposal:

Since the class WorkstationProcessDelete is handling both missed and deleted appointments separate the logic into two classes or come up with a more generic class name. A more descriptive name that accurately reflects its purpose and functionality, such as WorkstationProcessMissedHandler might be a good idea.

Benefits:

Improved code clarity
Easier to understand the purpose of the class
Better maintainability and readability

@ThomasAFink Based on the code analysis, here are the changes needed to improve the handling of missed and deleted appointments:

1. First, let's rename the WorkstationProcessDelete class to better reflect its dual functionality. I recommend creating two separate classes:

// New class for handling missed appointments
class WorkstationProcessMissedHandler
{
    public function handleMissedAppointment($process)
    {
        // Set status to missed
        $process->status = 'missed';
        
        // Add log entry specifically for missed appointments
        $this->logMissedAppointment($process);
    }
    
    private function logMissedAppointment($process)
    {
        // Log with clear "missed" status
        // Example: "Appointment marked as missed by clerk"
    }
}

// New class for handling deleted appointments 
class WorkstationProcessDeleteHandler 
{
    public function handleDeletedAppointment($process)
    {
        // Set status to deleted
        $process->status = 'deleted';
        
        // Add log entry specifically for deletions
        $this->logDeletedAppointment($process);
    }
    
    private function logDeletedAppointment($process)
    {
        // Log with clear "deleted" status
        // Example: "Appointment deleted by clerk"
    }
}

2. Update the logging mechanism to clearly differentiate between the two states:

// Example log entries
$logEntry = [
    'process_id' => $process->id,
    'timestamp' => time(),
    'clerk_id' => $clerk->id,
    'action' => $process->status, // Will be either 'missed' or 'deleted'
    'reason' => $reason // Optional reason provided by clerk
];

This separation provides several benefits:

• Clear distinction between missed appointments and deleted ones in both code and logs
• Better audit trail for each type of action
• More accurate statistics and reporting
• Easier maintenance and future modifications
• Clear responsibility separation in the code

The code already has proper status constants defined in the Process class:

public const STATUS_MISSED = 'missed';
public const STATUS_DELETED = 'deleted';

Would you like me to:

1. Create a GitHub issue to track this refactoring task?
2. Search for more specific code locations where these changes need to be implemented?
3. Provide more detailed implementation guidance?

Please let me know which aspects you'd like me to elaborate on.

🔗 Analysis chain

Let me search for the relevant files and analyze what needs to be changed.

Based on the search results, let me analyze the code and provide a detailed response.

@ThomasAFink Based on the issue description and code analysis, here are the changes needed:

1. The class WorkstationProcessDelete needs to be renamed to better reflect its dual functionality of handling both deleted and missed appointments. Here are two possible approaches:

Option 1 - Create two separate classes (Recommended):

class WorkstationProcessMissedHandler
{
    // Logic for handling missed appointments
    // Move the missed appointment related code here
}

class WorkstationProcessDeleteHandler
{
    // Logic for handling deleted appointments
    // Move the deletion related code here
}

Option 2 - Use a more generic name:

class WorkstationProcessStatusHandler
{
    // Combined logic for both missed and deleted appointments
    // with clear method names indicating the specific action
    
    public function handleMissedAppointment()
    {
        // Logic for missed appointments
    }
    
    public function handleDeletedAppointment()
    {
        // Logic for deleted appointments
    }
}

2. Update the logging mechanism to clearly differentiate between missed and deleted appointments in the log table. The log entries should explicitly state whether an appointment was:
   • Marked as missed by the clerk ("nicht_erschienen")
   • Deleted from the system

This will help in:

• Better auditing and tracking of appointment statuses
• Accurate case prosecution when needed
• Clear distinction between missed appointments and deleted ones

Would you like me to:

1. Search for more specific code locations where these changes need to be made?
2. Create a GitHub issue to track this refactoring task?

Please let me know which approach you prefer (separate classes or generic class), and I can provide more detailed implementation guidance.
